Lingonberry Rieska ‒ Puolukkarieska

The simplest version of lingonberry rieska consists only of smashed lingonberries, cold water and rye flour. For my lazy day breakfast today I adapted a bit more complex recipe from here. From what I've learned from earlier experiments, when using store-bought oat yogurt or lingonberry cram that has already been sugared it's better to leave the syrup all out. The amount in the original (1 tablespoon for this batch) makes these way too sweet for me and destroys the tartness of lingonberries but feel free to adjust it to your own taste buds.

Mix the baking powder and salt with the flour. Crush the lingonberries with a fork. Mix everything. Heat up a frying pan. Shape the paste into flat, round breads. (I got six small ones.) The paste is very sticky so you may need to use wheat flour as an aid. Fry lightly on a dry pan from both sides.
